Digital Painting for Illustration

Instructor: James Beihl


Students are encouraged to push their imagination by creating their own fantasy environments using photoshop to illustrate their design. This will enhance the students' development of basic drawing and painting skills within the digital workspace.

The instructor will guide students through a demo for the first half of each class and then break off into individual critiques for the second half . The first two classes will be used to come up with ideas (thumbnails and development art, as well as gather reference for their projects ). During the second session students will begin work on their final underdrawings and are encouraged to work independently outside of class where time permits. The back half of the session will be devoted to laying color and value to our underdrawings.


Stylus highly recommended, access to the Adobe Creative Suite - Photoshop. All levels welcome.
